Carpathians release month: day four! Pic is from WorldCon in Seattle; got the chance to give a signed copy to one of my author heroes. A certain David Brin (in good contrarian form as ever).

Carpathians launch month rolls on - taking it all the way back to Chapter 1 today1

That is awesome! I basically wrote those books for my daughter. They came out of storytelling games we played during the pandemic; she was about 7 when we started, but we kept the game going for years. They're pitched more like 12-14, but clean
02.10.2025 18:16 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Awww... thank you so much! I really hope you enjoy them! As for the fish - it won't need to sit long at all. I pretty much just serve it and by the time people are sitting down to dinner, good to go.
02.10.2025 17:42 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Sockeye! That's my favorite (outside of King/ Chinook, which is kinda expensive). The whole key is to cook it hot and not for too long; the meat will continue to cook after you take it out of the oven.
02.10.2025 17:08 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Nothing wrong with that! My favorite: Olive oil, soy sauce, onions, pepper. Bake at 475, turning twice (skin down, skin up, skin down). 12-15 minutes total. A little lemon at the end. Just sayin'. :-)
02.10.2025 16:27 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think it's having grown up in the Seattle area, salmon were always a big deal to me, so they show up in my writing. To a ridiculous degree - there's a short story about a magic salmon in my collection, they're part of Moonfall's origin, and the key to humanity's future in Carpathians (kind of).
02.10.2025 13:49 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Itβs kinda true honestly
02.10.2025 12:58 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Exactly!
02.10.2025 12:32 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Not so tough; there are whole chapters about salmon in almost everything I write. Not sure why. Must reflect on this.
So: Carpathians release month celebration rolls on! Here we see Nya Solarin, a biologist obsessed with a very unusual fish...

01.10.2025 12:17 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Okay #WIPSnips: it's announcement time! My sci-fi novel Carpathians will be available in stores October 28, and I am beyond excited. Going to be pulling from the original and the sequel all this month to celebrate. (Bonus: B&N pre-order link in comments!)

From Carpathans 2. Out of curiosity, if you happen to see this and have read the first one, let me know... just wondering if any of this makes any sense to anyone!
